Poof

When I was walking on the street, a middle aged English guy come towards me and saying “you are looking like a fucking poof!” then he grab my arms. “you look like a poof” I was like… “poof?” and he said poof! Then he walked away as he thought I m stupid or don’t understand English. Certainly I did not understand, he was right. I kind of knew what that means. I used dictionary later. poof , poof.
POOF/puf/ noun (BrE) ! slang) an offensive word for a HOMOSEXUAL man
…..
I was wearing. Purple trousers, black jacket, black and white scarf, glasses and colourful umbrella. Is this make people think I am gay? If he said “look like” probably he thought I am not, but look like..
